Join us for an eye-opening exhibition featuring images of care created by older adults and generated by AI!
As our reliance on artificial intelligence (AI) grows, we invite you to reflect on what it reveals about our understanding of care and later life, and how to use AI tools responsibly. This exhibition explores how AI-generated images can uncover biases and misconceptions about care in our society, and the role of technology in shaping these perceptions. What does care mean in our daily lives, and can AI ever understand care?
